after 8 attacks since mY they finally found it!



Recommended Posts

Ive had 8 times that I can actually remember pain from "ow that really hurts" to like the last 2 big attacks being "you already gave me morphine 2×? You couldnt have!" It finally came back as having gallstones. They started 1 month post op and in 2 days I will be 4 months. I was told a month ago after 2 cat scans that I probably meeded an ultasound just to make sure but thanks to military cut backs I needed to be dying in orfer to have one. Waited 3 hours at another hospital to get one because waitng till monday after 3 weeks of already waiting wasnt going to happen. Lesson learned that you always need to be your own advocate! If they make you go in sircles, and no matter if at the moment of relief you feel like you wasted your time, remember it can probably happen again and "might be" is not answer.

That sucks gallstones hurt so bad. I had them the entire time I was pregnant with my daughter everytime they caused me excruciating pain they just said I was having Braxton hicks contractions. They didnt find them until after I had her and then I had to be on an iv in the hospital for a week because all my internal organs were infected for having them so long. That sucked too but the point of this whole story is it is much better once its out.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
